Safety and Service Issues
We have a legitimate interest in preventing products from being sold by unauthorized sellers who may not have Precor qualified and trained personnel for installation or service.

To find out if the Dealer is Authorized, go to our Store Locator and type in the zip code. If the seller does not appear in the list, they may be an unauthorized seller.

I can't find a dealer near me. What should I do?

Although Precor has Authorized Dealers in most areas, there may not be one in your town. However, most of our dealers will make arrangements to deliver and service Precor equipment in areas near their locations which don't have an Authorized Dealer. Or you can purchase from Precor.com in the contiguous United States, or on Amazon.com.

Maintenance

What can I use to clean my Precor equipment?

The cleaner recommended for use on all Precor equipment is Simple Green®. The recommended dilution is 1 part Simple Green to 30 parts of water. Do not spray directly on the equipment. Spray the solution on a clean lint-free, cloth before applying to the equipment.

Do I need to perform any preventative maintenance on my Precor equipment?

"As explained in your Owner’s Manual, basic preventative maintenance will promote years of trouble-free use of your Precor equipment. Some of the basic procedures that should be performed are:

Ellipticals: After each usage, clean the display with a damp cloth. Every couple of weeks, clean the wheels and ramp with water or a diluted all-purpose cleaner. On a quarterly basis, perform a complete cleaning under the front and rear covers.

Treadmills: After each usage, clean the display with a damp cloth. Carefully vacuum under the hood (front cover) at least once a month."

Can our equipment be used outside or in a garage?

Precor equipment is manufactured for use in “normal” indoor controlled environment conditions. Therefore, Precor does not manufacture any exercise equipment that is intended for use outdoors or in an uncontrolled environment, such as a garage, enclosed porch or unfinished basement.

My feet occasionally become numb while using the EFX (elliptical). Is this harmful?

Forefoot numbness while exercising is annoying but not harmful. In fact, you can probably alleviate or even eliminate the symptoms by positioning your feet flat on the pedals, as opposed to lifting your heel with each stride. This can also occur when using a treadmill. If you have any concerns, you may want to consult your physician.

How do I convert strides into distance on my Precor elliptical?

The EFX stride length is approximately 28 ¼ inches (2.356 feet). Therefore, it will take approximately 2241 strides to equal 1 mile. To convert the number of stride to miles, take the number of strides on the display and divide by 2241. To convert strides to kilometers, divide the stride count by 1392.5. Note: the stride length varies by model and CrossRamp angle.

How are calories calculated on Precor equipment?

Precor equipment calculate caloric consumption from a proprietary algorithm based on an average profile developed in conjunction with the American College of Sports Medicine. A number of variables determine the formula, including weight, speed, incline setting and torque. Since people burn calories at different rates, it is impossible to create absolutely accurate calorie burn rates without using sophisticated and sensitive monitoring equipment. Therefore, the calorie burn rate shown on the console fits an average profile. The actual accuracy of the results depends on how close you are to the average profile. These results should be used as a benchmark and not as an absolute measurement.

What is a MET?

A MET is a measurement of oxygen consumption. One MET equals the approximate amount of oxygen consumed per minute by a person at rest. An individual exercising at two METs is consuming oxygen at twice his or her resting rate.

What are the differences between commercial and home equipment?

The primary difference between home and commercial equipment is the engineering and construction to ensure reliability and performance under different use conditions. Precor commercial equipment is designed to withstand near constant use in facilities, while home equipment is built to withstand use in a home setting. Home equipment also features more user amenities and individual-based programming such as User IDs, workout logs and safety features. Home equipment is also generally smaller and weighs less than commercial equipment.

Is the static electricity harmful?

Though it can be annoying, the static generated by exercising on your Precor equipment is not dangerous.

Occasionally, I get a shock when I touch the handlebar of my Precor® treadmill. Is there anything that I can do about it?

"The treadmill belt sliding over the deck surface can, in certain environments, generate a potential of static electricity. In general, this static potential is discharged through the treadmill’s frame grounding. However, in particularly cold, dry environments, residual static potential may remain. This behavior is most evident in the winter, particularly in colder areas. The most effective solution is to raise the relative humidity in the area of the treadmill with a humidifier.
If you continue to experience static shocks, it’s possible that the belt is being insulated from the frame. In cases of continued static shock, Precor recommends that you call the Precor Authorized Dealer that you purchased the treadmill from to have a Precor Authorized Service Technician examine your treadmill, or call Precor Technical Support at 1-800-665-4404. "

I want to buy a Precor elliptical for my home. How tall does my ceiling need to be to use an elliptical?

Add a minimum of 20 inches (51 cm) onto your own height to provide proper ceiling clearance. Additional Precor equipment dimensions are available under specifications on the Home and Commercial product pages of Precor.com.

How do you determine your e-commerce delivery and installation?

Our delivery and installation costs are calculated for shipping our product to one of our Precor Authorized Installers, who will contact you for professional installation. They will set up an appointment to you to delivery the product, bring it into your desired room, assemble it and remove the debris. The delivery and installation cost includes both of these services.

My home elliptical has lost resistance, what do I do?

If you own a 120 volt model, leaving the power on for a period of 50 days will make the software shut down the resistance feature of the equipment. Simply cycle the power to restore resistance.

The telemetry (wireless) heart rate system depends on a strong, clear signal being presented from the chest strap transmitter to the receiver inside the equipment console. In order to present a clear signal, you should correctly position the chest strap snugly against your body. (See your Owner’s Manual for additional details). Moist skin helps the transmitter strap make good contact, so perspiration or even dabbing a bit of water onto your skin may help.
When you first begin using the heart rate strap, lean in close to the equipment console for a few seconds to allow the receiver to pick up the signal. Once the console has a lock on the signal, you can step back to a normal exercise position and begin your workout.
If the equipment has touch heart rate grips, you should not touch them while using the chest strap, as this will override the telemetry heart rate system. If the chest strap is several years old, it is possible that the battery in the strap has lost its charge. If this is the case, contact your Precor Authorized Dealer for assistance, or contact Precor Customer Support at 1-800-786-8404.
Finally, wireless heart rate signals are susceptible to outside interference from other signals present in the area. Likely items that may cause such interference include wireless internet devices, cell phones or cell phone towers, and wireless dog fences.

I can't find the commercial product that I want to purchase for my home.

Most of the commercial series equipment that we sell for home use is featured in our Home equipment section (such as the AMT®, StretchTrainer, Ab-X), but you can purchase just about any commercial equipment for your home. If you don't see it, please contact Precor Customer Support at 1-800-786-8404, for help. They will direct you to the nearest Precor Authorized Dealer.

Why is my touch heart rate reading erratic or non-existent?

Touch heart rate readings depend on a strong, clear pulse to be read from your hands. In order to generate a clear signal, gently grasp the sensors. Do not tightly squeeze the touch sensors, as this can negatively affect the pulse in your hands, and make it more difficult to get an accurate reading. Use of the touch heart rate sensors while exercising is not recommended for reasons of safety and accuracy.
The sensors can provide better readings if your hands are warm and moist. If you have difficulty getting a reading right away, try again after a few minutes of exercising. Typically exercise will cause most people’s hands to become warm and moist.
The touch heart rate feature may not be accurate for every user or at every speed. Touch heart rate may also be affected by an individual’s unique physiology. For example, some individuals have a stronger pulse in their hands compared to others. Individual results may vary. Touch heart rate readings are intended for reference only, and the touch heart rate feature is not a medical device. Proper use of a chest strap may help to improve accuracy.

Can I purchase the same equipment I use at my gym for my home?

Absolutely. However, before you buy, be sure to ask about special electrical requirements that some Precor commercial products require, such as our premium commercial treadmills. Also be sure to measure your space including ceiling height and exterior and interior doorways. Take into consideration angles, corners and tight confines leading to the room where you want to place your equipment. You can find Precor equipment specifications in the product detail pages of the Home equipment section.

Purchase

My Precor equipment is still under parts warranty but no longer under labor warranty. Can you send parts directly to me without getting a servicer involved?

Generally speaking, it is against Precor policy to send warranty parts to anyone other than a Precor Authorized Technician. While Precor can make certain exceptions in the case of reasonably simple items, it is important that a trained technician evaluate the cause and provide a solution to any problems you may experience with your Precor equipment.

My basement was flooded, and my Precor was underwater. Is this covered under warranty?

"Warranty is defined as covering failures due to defects in materials or workmanship of the equipment itself. Catastrophic environmental failures are not covered under the scope of our warranty, but may be subject to other types of insurance.
If your Precor equipment has been exposed to a catastrophic environmental failure, we recommend you immediately cease using the equipment until it has been fully inspected."

What is the warranty on parts purchased for replacement?

Parts purchased for replacement through either your dealer or directly through Precor have a one year replacement warranty. There is no labor warranty on replacement parts.

Where do I find the serial number on my Precor equipment?

"Precor serial numbers are almost always on a white label below a black barcode (similar in appearance to a UPC code).

For Ellipticals: The serial number can be located either at the rear of the equipment near the on/off switch on a white sticker with a bar code, or on the frame located under the hood.

For Bikes: The serial number is either on the bottom of the frame (viewing of this requires laying the equipment on its side) or on the rear of the frame near the floor.

For Stair Climbers: The serial number is either on the bottom of the foot pedals or on the left front cover near the on/off switch.
